How to Win Against Any Formation?

[wepes2012]

3-2-3-2


------------

4-2-2-2


DL--DC-DC--DR
----MC-MC----
AML--------AMR
------ST--ST----
Some people however may change the MC-MC to a DMC-DMC, don't worry too much about this as it will not effect the formations provided and would enhance your ball possession.

Effective formation to counter the 4-2-2-2 would be the 3-2-2-2-1:
Tested in great match and it work well.

-----------ST----------
AML-------------AMR
--------MC-MC-----
DML------------DMR
-----DC-DC-DC-----

Flat Formation, but possible add down arrows on DML and DMR to boost defence if required.
Short or mixed passing, down both flanks, with fast defenders use offside trap, pressing whole pitch in attacking mentality OR
normal or defensive mentality, pressing own half with force counter and mixed passing.

4-5-1V Motivated

-------------ST-----------
AML----------------AMR
-----MC--------MC-------
--------DMC(UP)--------
DL(UP)---DC---DC-----DR(UP)

The 4-5-1V Style Motivated is also another option to use against the 4-2-2-2 formation.



Finally this topic copied from an old topic was in the old forum for top eleven and i copied it here so as to benefit all from it and any added information or suggestion in this matter will be appreciated and I'm here for anyone want to ask about any counter formation.

for 4-5-1V motivated
I face a team in Semi and final using the same formation.
Semi result: 1st leg(0-0), 2nd leg(2-0) against a weaker team.
Final : a team similar skills level to mine

1.What team mentality should I be using and what about counter attacking?
2.any arrow on AML/AMR?

A)my aml/amr is slower and weaker than their DL and DR
B)His aml/amr are weaker than mine
